She has a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and believes that the Público was her school of journalism. She spent 14 years in the international politics section exploring, Asia in particular. What does a school for migrant children in Beijing have in common with a middle-class family in Tokyo? A writer in Goa looking for their identity in the largest slum in Mumbai? The lowering the Portuguese flag in Macao and a trip through Thai cuisine? Nothing and a lot. For Francisca Gorjão Henriques, all the reports were lessons on how each place is multiple. She believes that these years helped her in the steps that followed. She left the Público newspaper after 20 years to devote herself to the Loaf by Loaf Association, which promotes the integration of refugees from the Middle East. But she did not leave journalism, continuing to work as a freelancer, reporting and doing fixer work.

And in 2019, the Economist magazine labelled him «The academic voice of the American worker».
